Greely Men's Fastball Club Announces New Name and Sponsor

OSGOODE WARD, OTTAWA—The Greely Men's Fastball Club is proud to announce a new name and new sponsor. The men's fastball club, which is based in Greely, will now be known as the "Greely DNTW Eagles."

In light of the club's new home in Greely, the club has decided to change their name from "Bombers" to "Eagles." The club's captain Shannon Borho explained that historically fastball teams from Greely have borne the name "Eagles."

"The Blackburn Bombers had a lot of success," explained Borho. "But since we have moved the club to Greely, we are proud to take on the historical Eagles moniker."

The club is also thrilled to announce that it has entered into a partnership with a new sponsor, DNTW Chartered Accountants. DNTW is a national chartered accounting firm with offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon and Toronto. In Ottawa, DNTW is represented by the firm Swindells and Wheatley, Inc. Graham Wheatley, a Principal at DNTW, has a history supporting local sports. He is a former fastball coach in the Kanata Minor Softball Association.

"I used to coach Stefan Sklepowicz and the Cox brothers (Tyler and Ryan)," explained Wheatley. "I am happy to see them continue to play fastball and to help them give back to the community."

Leftfielder Stefan Sklepowicz talked about the significance of having DNTW's sponsorship.

"One of the big challenges of starting a fastball club is finding sponsorship," said Sklepowicz. "DNTW has really given our ball club a boost."

The sponsorship deal is a two-way partnership and already the club has demonstrated its commitment to DNTW. The club has adopted not only DNTW's name, but also the firm's trademark blue and white colours. Accordingly, the ball club has recently ordered new blue and white uniforms.
